POSTWAR: Yank Comes Home

Eric Johnston, president of the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce, came back last week from a three-week whirl around England
with some startling conclusions on U.S.-British relations:

1) U.S. and British businessmen should get together on postwar problems
right now, and he had so proposed to his British hosts. He had also
suggested "a marrying" of the two nations' capital for investment in
other nations. "The British have had investments all over the world for
years," he continued blandly, "[but] some of them were not too
profitable. It might help if U.S. capital were put in too."
